Here are 10 reasons why you should visit Silloth on Solway Golf Club.

Quality – The first thing to say about Silloth is how good it is. The course is a superb example of links golf at its best and is kept to the highest standard. Many visitors who have played Silloth tell us it is comparable to the Open Championship venues. Undulating fairways and firm fast greens make for a high quality golf experience

Course Design – The layout of the course is superb. The course utilises many of the natural elements of the land to provide a great layout and a challenge to all who play. Davy Grant was the original course architect and Willie Park Jnr and Dr Alister MacKenzie had a hand in the courses development over the years.

Value for Money – To have a course of this quality and only charge £55 per day midweek means the value for money is as good as it gets. You can play a top quality course and not have to pay a premium price.

All day golf – The midweek green fees are charged per day so you can play all day giving you more time to enjoy and appreciate the subtlety of the links. If you struggle to manage 36 holes we have buggies available to hire so you can ride in comfort whilst enjoying your golf.

All Year Round Golf – As well as being able to play all day midweek as we are a links golf course it drains fantastically well. Even in the wettest of winters the course is in very good condition and you can play 12 months of the year without having mud splashed up to your knees!

Catering – Our caterer, Liam Maycock is fantastic. You will struggle to find a golf course in the country with better catering. He can tailor all types of foods to your requirements and we’ve even had some groups revisit us because of the quality of the food!

Views – Once you step onto the first tee you are met with blooming heather, patches of gorse and rolling fairways. The views across the Solway Firth to the Scottish Borders and even the Isle of Mann on a clear day are beautiful. The Lake District fells provide lovely views on the other side. There’s nothing better than a relaxing stroll round the links taking in the views.

Professional Staff – From the moment you call to enquire about your visit our professional staff will deal with all of you requirements to ensure everything goes smoothly. You can relax and enjoy your day safe in the knowledge that everything has been taken care of.

Location – This quiet corner of Cumbria is the perfect location to stop off on the way to and back from Scotland. For non golfers the surrounding area has lots to offer, from the stunning beauty of the lakes to the history and shopping in Carlisle. The course regularly hosts England vs Scotland society matches and many return again and again.

Relaxation– At Silloth you can play golf at its best. All of the holes are somewhat individual and on many occasions you can play the whole round without seeing another golfer. You can play our wonderful links, relax, take in the views and enjoy the beauty of our special links golf course.

If this has wetted your appetite to play Silloth you can book your visit in any of the following ways.

“Please pass on our appreciation and thanks to everyone at the club for making us so welcome and at home. We all departed for home well satisfied with our day out – the value for money is second to none. We hope to return many more times..”

Martin Ball

Fantastic golf course, a great test of golf on a fantastic links course.Thoroughly enjoyed every yard of it.

Peter Norris

Great links course, which tests shot making ability. In the prevailing wind need to hang onto a score on the front 9, and take advantage on the back, apart from the very difficult S I 1 par 4 back into the wind.

Clubhouse very welcoming with relaxed dress code, good beer, and some of the best food served in a golf club.Overall highly recommend a visit.

Allan Thomson

Most golfers know about Silloth Golf course as one of the best in the UK, i've had the pleasure of playing it many times and we will be back again soon. Even the hailstones didn't stop our enjoyment of playing such a cracking course.

Robin Grant

Excellent links course. Well worth taking turn off at Carlisle

John Wheeler

The most beautiful, unique, and yet demanding traditional links golf course. A must for every lover of the game, don't let the travelling distance put you off this is a gem.

Frank McAleer

A fantastic and most interesting golf course. Be prepared for the unexpected.

Steve Hollis

My annual pilgrimage to Silloth has turned into a 10 man tour, focused on the Solway Firth. Outstanding in every way.

I've been hearing rave reviews about Silloth for a number of years, and after finally getting the opportunity to play there I could certainly see why. Terrific course and a great welcome- I can't wait to return

Robb Tapp

Simply stunning. From the warm welcome on arrival we were made to feel like it was our home course. The course was in great condition, you're well rewarded for good shots but it's brutal if you're wayward, exactly how links golf should be. Worth every minute of the long journey to play here. If you're thinking of playing here , book it, you won't be disappointed. The best value for money course I've ever played. Thanks for a great day.

Nicholas Sherriff

Very welcoming. Splendid course. Was guided by a member for several holes. Very adequate meal afterwards. Highly recommended. Great value. Well worth the drive.

Vince Froggatt

Just a quick note to express my thanks to all who made our visit to your wonderful golf club so enjoyable. Myself and 3 friends played your course on Friday last week and we all loved it. Everyone we met from the staff to the people on and around the golf course could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The course itself is simply superb and a credit to those charged with its upkeep.

Thank you all for making our trip so enjoyable.

If Silloth on Solway Golf Club was anywhere else in the U.K. It would be far more expensive and much more difficult to get a tee time. One of my very favourite locations to play golf. The greens this year were as smooth and true as I have ever seen them.

Yowie Roberts

A long trip from Derbyshire but worth the effort; a fabulous course, great views and a friendly atmosphere.

Matthew Robison

Best value course in the UK i've played. An authentic links experience which held up really well in winter conditions. Memorable hole after memorable hole and a great Cumbrian welcome on arrival.

Glen Bevis

It is absolutely stunning. Every hole different (which is hard to do on a links), every hole beautiful.

Very challenging in places and the Par 5 13th was into the wind and is probably the hardest par 5 I've ever played

I played my best golf of the weekend and hit my highest score!

Silloth is a truly fantastic links course that is worthy of it's place in the rankings.

We were made to feel very welcome by the members and the Pro Simon and I will definitely be returning. Well worth the drive.

Aaron Stewart

I've just finished 18 holes at Silloth. I don't think I can remember a more enjoyable round of golf in recent years. Stunning layout, stunning condition, stunning scenery, what an amazing place. Many thanks.
